CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter is divided into two major parts. The first part presents the steps on how the researcher designed task-based English speaking materials for
the tour guides of Kalisuci Gunungkidul. The second part presents the designed materials for the tour guides of Kalisuci Gunungkidul.
A. The Steps in Designing Task-Based English Speaking Materials
To answer the first research problem, namely, how task-based English speaking materials for the tour guides of Kalisuci Gunungkidul are designed, there
were five steps to design the speaking materials. The five steps were research and information collecting, planning, developing preliminary form of product,
preliminary field testing, and main product revision. The five steps are explained in the following points.
1. Research and Information Collecting
To collect the data of the target learners, the researcher collected data which consisted of indentifying the goals, conducting instructional analysis or
identifying the speaking topics needed, and analyzing learners and context or identifying the learners’ needs.
a. Identify Instructional Goal
In this phase, the researcher conducted a small observation to indentify the results of the goals of learning English speaking skills by observing seven tour

guides while they were guiding. The data were written by answering the observation sheet to choose one of the rating scales provided which can be seen in
Table 4.1.
b. Conduct Instructional Analysis
After the goals of learning were identified, the researcher collected data to choose the suitable speaking topics by observing the seven guides while they were
guiding. The data of the suitable speaking topics were also written in same observation sheet of identifying goals. The data were written by answering the
observation sheet to choose one of the rating scales provided which can be seen in Table 4.1.

Based on the data in Table 4.1, the researcher concluded that the goal of learning English speaking skills were able to speak English correctly and fluently.
Therefore, the learners had to pronounce the English words correctly and able to have a continuous conversation with English speaking guests. Then, they had to
use appropriate and correct English expressions in conversations.
